Last month I hit 36000, anyone is interested in sharing experience so far for Leaf veterans? For me it was relatively good ride, not ideal though... Never ran out of charge, but was upset few time with not fast enough charge time that prevented me from using Leaf 100% on some days Battery state...

On couple occasions I noticed that my Leaf charged itself to 100% when timer was set to 80%... I suspect is it is because of the preheat or something... haven't noticed this before... Anyone knows if Leaf actually charges when preheat is on? My pattern of usage on this 2 occasions was similar: I...

Last night came back to my Leaf (after L2 charging) right after opening the door my heart sunk pretty deep, I felt pretty strong burning electronics smell inside the car... No smoke or anything, but the smell was pretty strong... Sniffed around and it seems to be originating from the back hump...

I see in recargo that some leafers are actually ventured to Snoqualmie pass... I really want to try it but kind of affraid :) The distance from my house to QC over there is a bit over 50 miles, so normally it should be no problem, but the way there for me is 90% highway, and there's a...

Anyone else had connection problems or mine is isolated? On friday my carwings connections went belly up (car can't get feeds, phone can't get car updates). The only clue I got is from carwings website. (below) I certainly didn't enter my credentials into another leaf... WTH? CARWINGS™ PIN and...

Hey guys, I'm at crossroads... After putting 26K on my leaf it's time to change tires... In heavy rain I started to feel like I'm water skiing rather that driving on a highway. I know that many of the forum folks are leaning towards Michelin, but I had a very good history with Goodyear and...

Can anyone explain what is going on with Fast charging for my Leaf? I'm using only one available Blink Fast charger in the area from time to time, and I remember few times before the behavior was kind of undercharging when I charge to 80%... If I charged the leaf using level 2, I get 10 bars and...

Does anyone have a good historical and technical timeline for gasoline stations/standards? Just want to see how long it took for that and we can try to compare where we are with Electrical ;) was there the same battle of standards, like to have different pipe size for Premium, somewhat like they...

After getting stranded in my garage one morning (first day after vacation) with dead battery in my Leaf I wonder if it is possible to build a simple device that will kick start it using D batteries? Just add rectifier (to make sure Leaf will not try to charge the batteries) and possibly a fuse...

Just saw some chargers in new parking garage on 5th right across Seattle Center (Bill and Melinda Gates foundation parking garage). Seems to be operational, but haven't seen anything similar anywhere else... It's not Blink nor ChargePoint nor Aerovoronment.... Anyone knows what are those? They...

Did anyone tried doing it? I can't figure out how to get to the lights :) When I try to pry off the thing it looks like the whole roof cover is coming down... Am I doing something wrong? or you need to pry off the clear plastic only somehow from greyish bezel?

One fog light caught the stone, replaced both with aftermarket, so now one fog light is up for grabbing (it's about $200 at dealership for a new one) http://www.ebay.com/itm/330742442495?item=330742442495&viewitem=&vxp=mtr

One of my fog lights got hit by a stone and shattered, so after going to dealer and getting a $300 quote to replace one light, I said, what the heck, I can do it myself, so here's my ordeal. 1 off I found LED fog lights marked as FOR Nissan Leaf from Bling lights, (blinglights.com) ordered it...

Well, seeing few Leafs drop as much as 15% capacity in a year, made me think... What is the true cost of driving in ECO? obviously it saves some electricity, but is it saving you money if it degrades your battery faster? Just think about driving in hilly area, when you drive 5 mins downhill...

Just celebrated my Leaf's one year of delivery, 11.5K miles, battery report is perfect, got new software, seems like brakes became less grabby at very low speeds and I feel the change in GuessOmeter, but now I need to relearn how to estimate how far can I go on low charge... It used to be that 3...

Anyone knows where can I get the socket and plug for the Leaf's mirror? It has so many holes in it and only 3 wires... never seen anything like it before...

I want to install a video logger in my leaf, which requires running some wires from rear-view mirror and tapping into switched 12V. Does anyone have pics/instructions to safely do that, especially routing wires around side impact airbags, and where is the best place to tap into 12V? And...

Just came across few articles on the net about plasma battery... http://www.zimbio.com/National+Science+Foundation+-+NSF/articles/hB0g3vD3aFY/New+plasma+battery+now+restricted+only+military" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false...

Anyone in Seattle area want to get hitch installed for the coming summer? I found one company that is doing that for leafs with no drilling Installation is $95. The part is $249.95, you can actually get it shipped for free as well for self-install They can give us a discount if we have large...

I was soo enjoying Hawaii for 2 weeks, so my Leaf just had to slap me with bad news... When I came back it was totally dead, locks won't made any sound when pushing the button, when I turned the lights on (inside) I did not see even a glimmer on the filament... Well, Jump starting solved...
